Controversy What the actual f**k

Is this really someone running for MP ? They dropped this absolutely unhinged rant that's barely legible in my mailbox. Do people actually vote for this absolute idiocy? Absolutely nuts.

That name matches a guy who has run for, i think, a seat in every level of government over the last 14 years in Victoria.

Oh no way, we have one of those in Vancouver too! A TERF who has never even come anywhere close to winning any of the seats, but she just doesn't give up.

Is that the magic boob lady who shoots breast milk at people?

That's disgusting, where?

u/Tentacalifornia 14h ago

Her name was cherise i believe she died recently though unfortunately. She talked about her boobs alot and ran for city council. My friend told her off one drunken night and she lactated onto him which was gross but impressive given the distance she sprayed..... She hung out on commercial drive

Actually, no, that lady was something, but Karin is just a, well, Karen

Literally anyone can run. For example: This guy.

Anytime I see "spike protein" I know a conservative is losing their fucking mind and I give it no further attention.

My favourite part is nicotine eroding nanotec[h]. Zyns to keep Elon Musk and Bill Gates out of my blood? I guess? I didnā€™t need that justification, but itā€™s nice to have!

u/Lear_ned 18h ago

You don't understand, this non-scientist has proven that the spike protein comes from AIDS. Scientific papers pending.

/S obviously

I'll definitely start taking ivermectin now that John from YouTube said it was good for me ! /s

u/CptnVon 14h ago

Ironically, ivermectin actually a legitimate prescription if used as a face cream. A friend of mine was actually prescribed it just prior to COVID. We were laughing that people would actually put that crap in their mouths

I've been canvassing for the NDP this morning and met him in person. He's got a whole folder of graphs and insanity he wants to run you through lmao

His Facebook seems equally as much fun

Wow. That's a rabit hole of crazy

7

u/Nevermore_Novelist 16h ago

Did you misspell "rabbit" or "rabid"? I know what you probably meant, but "rabid hole of crazy" oddly works quite well.

2

u/monkey_monkey_monkey Downtown 11h ago

I totally misspelled that word. One of the ones you suggested is correct but I am leaving it because both work well

u/system_error_02 16h ago

I especially like the one where he thinks IR from monkeys generates energy and we can power the world with monkey heat.

2

u/ChasingPotatoes17 14h ago

But why just monkeys?

Dammit now I need to understand this personā€™s (absolute batshit) internal reasoning.

2

u/system_error_02 13h ago

I know right? I mean even a layman knows this isn't how IR works. Maybe they think b3cause in The Matrix they used humans as batteries that it would actually work in real life but with our closest cousin ? I'm just guessing here

u/RyanKeslerSucks 20h ago

He came to my house a few days ago and unfortunately he left before I could tell him heā€™s an idiot.

u/Ed-P-the-EE 16h ago

It's been my experience that most idiots do not appreciate having that fact brought to their attention, no matter how well-intentioned you are.

u/CrabofCoconuts 19h ago

You know, Ive often thought id be the worst person to run for a government office but then I see things like this and think well at least id be better than that guy

u/HollisFigg 19h ago

Too bad you missed him. He'll probably take at least 36 votes away from the Conservatives.

u/whatthefrelll 19h ago

Glad you missed me, Steve.

u/butterslice 17h ago

He's been around for ages, very minor fringe candidate. Every town has a few of these guys. Mentally ill conspiracy theorists out to fight against (((them))) by running in local elections.

u/butter_cookie_gurl 17h ago

Crazy aside, I find it hilarious anyone uses Hotmail still.

u/laCarteBlanc Fernwood 20h ago

Yeah, Iā€™ll take you seriously, Hotmail.com - lol šŸ˜‚

u/system_error_02 19h ago

He really really wants me to watch YouTube videos apparently too

3

u/Chuckledunk 18h ago

Sure as hell ain't going to vote for him, but I love the wacky fringe flavor he brings to these things

3

u/thebbtrev 17h ago

Love the number is incorrect spellings of various words. Dude, if you canā€™t spell, I canā€™t trust you to make any decisions as a political leader.

Go finish high school, and maybe some college, then we can talk about your viability as a candidate.

3

u/AnthatDrew 17h ago

Zero facts. Looks like a 10 yo printed this up. This person doesn't understand the difference between causation snd correlation, I'd bet.

u/umbrella_crab 14h ago

I think we all deserve 1/6th of a nicotine patch a day, as a treat

u/Veganlightbody 18h ago edited 17h ago

he's a self proclaimed scientist who can't figure out MANY more people would eat if we had a plant based diet society https://www.un.org/en/climatechange/science/climate-issues/food https://ourworldindata.org/land-use-diets

he should hang out with the stevia expert dan Quinn https://youtu.be/CqV2xjnb0jw?t=236 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kHXYvS_-tY

Schiz posting

u/MellyBlueEyes Gorge 12h ago

I got almost the same printout for the provincial election when he said he was running for MLA. He was not on the ballot. I remembered him because he drove his scooter all the way to the top of my driveway, triggering my security cam. Had a backpack, and wrote the exact same thing in pen, "sorry to have missed you, Steve". I was not sorry at all.

u/David__R8 9h ago

Holy shit. Dude is completely unhinged.

u/Not_A_Wendigo 19h ago

Iā€™m surprised someone so clearly unwell was able to get it together enough to register as a candidate every time.

1

u/AUniquePerspective 17h ago

It's really not hard to fill out the paperwork.

Did he actually spell cures as ques?

1

u/rthorndy 15h ago

I think he meant "cues", which isn't really a modern way of saying that, but it works.

u/ZowieBowie 20h ago

Dude you posting this shit just gives it more exposure. Ignore it, get on with your day.

u/EmergencyMolasses261 14h ago

Ah yes we need to elleviate the stress.. also the way this person has listed their evidence makes me want to die. It actually looks like something Iā€™d have done in grade 6. At least throw it through chat gpt or somethingā€¦ add a QR code, this was literally unreadable.

I think rather than focus on trying to get elected, they should first look on YouTube for a word/google docs tutorial so they can figure out how to use consisted font sizes, bold titles and maybe a quick YouTube on how to present ideas..

Personally, as a reader, I donā€™t know what SV40 is, or what they mean by Nanotec, I certainly donā€™t know what ā€œTHISā€ is, and what is getting detoxed. Nor do I know what Bromelain or NAC is..

Genuinely this took such little effort, conspiracy theories aside, I wouldnā€™t trust them to lead a conversation let alone a riding, like my god if youā€™re gonna promote your theories at the very very least you could make them make sense like Iā€™m genuinely surprised this is so poorly written.

u/Accountability-human 9h ago

I know that it might feel good to make fun of this person. The reality is this is a sad microcosm of what racial capitalism has done to our social relations: misinformation, anti-science, distrust of institutions and experts, selling snake oil and psyops built the ā€œwellness to fascism pipelineā€ (please google this term if unfamiliar).

People need social connection and education to be de-radicalized in this way and turned towards justice, well being, and class solidarity.

1

u/Nestvester 6h ago

You know the person is legit when the font sizing varies wildly line to line and the continuous on/off with the bold.

u/lesmainsdepigeon 1h ago

It just goes to show that democracy everywhere requires vigilance. We all have to stay informed about the candidates and we all have to show up on election day.

Complacency and comfort are the holes in the fence that let people like this through. Trump wasnā€™t elected because a third of Americans voted for himā€¦ he was elected because a third of Americans didnā€™t vote at all.
